About Ashan
My name is Ashan and I am an experienced chess instructor and youth mentor who has been teaching and playing for many years. I have guided children and teens through both private and group lessons, helping them build confidence, problem-solving skills, and a love for the game. With a background in international tournament play and a Chess.com rapid rating of 1590, I bring both competitive knowledge and a supportive teaching style to every lesson. Families appreciate my patience, reliability, and ability to create a safe and engaging learning environment. I am passionate about helping students discover their potential and grow both on and off the chessboard.

As a chess tutor, I focus on making lessons both structured and engaging so students feel challenged but never overwhelmed. I tailor each session to the student’s age, level, and goals, whether they are just learning the basics of how pieces move or already exploring advanced strategies.
A typical lesson begins with a short warm up such as puzzles or reviewing a position from a recent game, to get students thinking critically right away. We then move into a focused topic, like openings, tactics, or endgame techniques, always reinforced through practical examples and interactive exercises. To close, I encourage students to apply what they have learned in guided play and reflect on what worked well.
What sets me apart is my ability to create a positive, patient, and supportive environment where students feel motivated to grow. I draw from my tournament background and years of teaching to balance technical instruction with fun, age appropriate challenges. My approach emphasizes not only chess skills, but also confidence, focus, and problem-solving, qualities that serve students beyond the board.
My lessons are designed for children and teens ages 6 to 16, from complete beginners to intermediate players. I take pride in adapting to different learning styles so every student can discover their potential and enjoy the game at their own pace.
